TORONTO - When the Colorado Avalanche wore down, the Toronto Maple Leafs picked up the pace to win their second game in a row. Henri Jokiharju Jersey .Seeing fatigue in an opponent that played the day before, the Leafs only got better as the game went on in coming back to beat the Avalanche 3-2 in overtime Tuesday night at Air Canada Centre.Sparked by a hit from Leo Komarov on Jan Hejda, Joffrey Lupul tied the score midway through the third for the Leafs (2-2-0). A delay-of-game penalty on goaltender James Reimer provided a bit of a scare, but then Phil Kessel won the game 34 seconds into overtime with what coach Randy Carlyle called a goal-scorers goal.It seemed like the last half of the hockey game we had our skating legs, our forechecking game and we gave them some problems bringing the puck out of their zone, Carlyle said.After being out-shot in the first as James van Riemsdyk scored for Toronto and Ryan OReilly answered for Colorado (1-2-1), the Leafs had 31 shots to the Avalanches 12 in the second and third periods.Patrick Roys team, which won Monday afternoon in Boston, had a lead thanks to Matt Duchenes cross-bar-and-down goal in the second.We had a really good start, Roy said. Unfortunately for us, the penalties kind of hurt us a little bit and it gives them some momentum.Though the Leafs didnt score on the power play, they generated plenty of offensive-zone time as a result. Carlyle pointed to one in the second period as the point where the tide of the hockey game turned.The Leafs didnt look patient, but as the Avalanche got tired, things started to shift. Semyon Varlamov (37 saves on 40 shots) was under siege more, and Reimer (22 saves on 24 shots) saw much less action.I think we were getting up ice well and we were kind of hemming them in their zone, especially in the third, said Reimer, who won back-to-back starts for the first time since Oct. 26 and 29, 2013. I thought we did a great job of moving our legs and giving them no time.Lupul, who credited Komarov for getting things started with his big check on Hejda, said there hadnt been much energy — especially positive — in Air Canada Centre early this season. That changed in the third period and contributed to a second straight win.Our speeds a big asset, so when we start coming at teams in waves, it puts a lot of pressure on them, Lupul said. For us, playing good defence is going to start with playing offensively with the puck. We were putting the pucks into places where we could get them, we were winning races that we werent winning in the first period and after that, some of our skill can take over.No more did skill take over than on Kessels overtime goal, when he beat Avalanche defenceman Tyson Barrie in front of the net before snapping a shot past Varlamov.Youve always got to want the puck, Kessel said. Fortunately tonight I was able to win it.After almost scoring less than a minute after Lupul tied it in the third, Kessels second goal of the season put a big smile on his coachs face.I loved it, Carlyle said. Phils a special player and if you give him enough opportunities, he can score. He can hurt people in different ways.Kessel was flying in the third period and his teammates followed. In 21:01 of ice time, the star right-winger had six shots and an assist on van Riemsdyks first-period goal.Hes a dynamic player, Lupul said of Kessel. You can not notice him for a stretch of time, and then he gets the puck with speed and has the ability to change the game in a matter of seconds. And not many guys in the league have that. And you certainly saw him, as the rest of our team started to pick up some speed and momentum in the third period, you could certainly see him start to separate himself.Rookie defenceman Stuart Percy continued his strong play in just his fourth career NHL game, playing a calm, panic-free 23:34 that was behind only captain Dion Phaneuf in ice time. Aided by legs young and old, the Leafs took advantage of a tired team.They had more gas than maybe we had, but overall I thought we played a good game, Roy said.Good, but not good enough to keep the Leafs from evening their record.We started 0-2 and I guess and there was a little panic in Toronto, Kessel said. But it ended up all right.Notes — Jake Gardiner was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. Carlyle said the 24-year-old needs to play better whenever he returns to the lineup. ...

SAN ANTONIO -- Portland coach Terry Stotts is running out of adjectives and analogies to describe the San Antonio Spurs dominance in the second quarter. Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points, Tony Parker had 16 points and 10 assists, and San Antonio rolled to a 114-97 victory over the Trail Blazers on Thursday night for a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. After being struck by a "tidal wave" during the second quarter of the opener, Portland took on even more water in Game 2. "The onslaught at the beginning of the second quarter was obviously the turning point in the game," Stotts said. Boris Diaw scored six straight points to ignite a 23-8 run that gave San Antonio a 54-36 lead with 7 minutes remaining in the first half. The Spurs outscored the Trail Blazers 41-25 in the second quarter, raising their advantage to 77-48 in that period in winning the first two games of the best-of-seven series convincingly. Nicolas Batum scored 21 points for the Trail Blazers. Damian Lillard had 19 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 16 points and 10 rebounds, but the Trail Blazers All-Star duo put up 43 shots. Aldridge was 6 for 23, missing back-to-back dunks in the second quarter. "We missed a lot of shots," Aldridge said. "I definitely wasnt in a good rhythm tonight. I missed two dunks and four or five layups, so if those shots go in, then the whole game is different." The Trail Blazers host Game 3 on Saturday night. Manu Ginobili added 16 points, Marco Belinelli scored 13 and Diaw had 12 as San Antonios reserves outscored Portlands 50-19. Making matters worse for the Trail Blazers, reserve Mo Williams was limited to 9 minutes due to a groin injury. He finished with four points. "Our bench is coming alive," Parker said. "They had a hard first round. They had a hard time against Dallas, but the last two games the bench is playing well." The Trail Blazers, who found a snake in their locker room before the game, had a much better start than in Game 1. Batums 3-pointer gave Portland its first lead of series at 7-4 with 9:47 remaining in the first quarter. It lasted for 16 seconds before Leonards 3 tied it. San Antonio soon began using the quicker pace to force turnovers and find open shooters. The Spurs had 17 fast-break pooints in the first half compared to two by the Trail Blazers. Anton Forsberg Jersey. . Wesley Matthews was clearly frustrated, taking his mouthpiece out and looking upward in frustration before glaring at his teammates. Matthews responded by scoring 10 straight points in the third quarter while San Antonio went scoreless for 4 minutes, pulling Portland within 81-69 with 2 minutes remaining in the third. After losing 116-92 in the opener, Portland was sparked by greater activity by Robin Lopez, who had six rebounds and a blocked shot in the opening six minutes. He struggled once Diaw entered the game. Portland did not allow any fast-break points in the second half, closing within 10 points midway through the final quarter. Lillards 18-foot jumper pulled the Blazers within 92-80 with 9:17 remaining and his driving layup a minute and half later cut the margin to 94-84. Batum, who was 1 for 5 on 3-pointers in Game 1, hit his third of the game to cut the lead to 99-91 with 5:37 remaining. "The first two games, they went on a big run in the first half of both games," Lillard said. "Then in the second half, we come out and make those adjustments and those corrections and clean things up and then we play a much better half. We have to do a better job of taking away those second chances." The Trail Blazers had a chance to close within seven inside 5 minutes, but Leonard blocked Matthews layup from behind to maintain the Spurs advantage at 102-93. Parker followed with a jumper in the lane on Lillard, and Leonard and Ginobili hit back-to-back 3s to put San Antonio up 110-93 and put the game out of reach. NOTES: Portlands Thomas Robinson found the snake two hours before tipoff when he reached for a bag in his locker. The team initially thought it was a baby rattlesnake, but stadium officials later determined it was a non-venomous snake. The snake was estimated between 3 to 4 feet in length. ...
